Robert Miles Dead At 47

Disc jockey and music producer Robert Miles has died at the age of 47 in Spain.

Miles was best known for the 1995 instrumental song ‘Children’ that hit number 21 in the USA and was number 1 in most of Europe. The song sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

After ‘Children,’ Miles had more success in Europe with follow up hits ‘Fable,’ ‘One And One’ and ‘Freedom.’

In a statement posted on Facebook, Robert’s friend Joe T. Vannelli said in part, “The tragic news of the death of a very talented artist of our time, makes me incredulous and upset. With him also it is a part of my life as an artist manufacturer. I will miss the fights, brawls, criticism, judgments but especially your talent in finding sounds and melodies unparalleled.” You can see the full post below.
